  "account": "Mike Flanagan's \"Carrie\" series has released its first trailer, premiering on Prime Video on October 7. The eight-episode adaptation of Stephen King's novel follows Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), a young woman who has been home-schooled her entire life. Upon entering high school, she faces ridicule and mockery from her peers due to her unconventional dress and perceived ignorance. Carrie's dream of making friends quickly turns into a nightmare when her period causes panic in the school locker room, and her classmates record her distress and share it online. As her online notoriety grows, her psychic abilities seem to intensify, leading to a 911 call about a reported death and a young girl coughing up blood. The trailer concludes with Carrie standing on a stage at a school dance, a moment reminiscent of the famous climax from the Stephen King novel and Brian De Palma's film adaptation. Samantha Sloyan stars as Carrie's mother, Margaret, alongside a cast that includes Samantha Sloyan, Siena Agudong, Alison Thornton, Joel Oulette, Josie Totah, Arthur Conti, Thalia Dudek, Amber Midthunder, and Matthew Lillard. This marks the first time \"Carrie\" is being adapted for television, building upon previous film adaptations from 1976 and 2013. The series aims to delve deeper into the supporting characters and explore the impact of modern technology on bullying and adolescence.",
